Tarek William Saabattorney general of the Public Ministry, proposed a “cooperation” with the United States government for the extradition of opposition leaders Juan Guaidó and Carlos Vecchio, who are in exiles in that country.
“We ask the US authorities, based on bilateral cooperation, to give us the collections of all this investigation that they themselves, in US territory, have advanced,” Saab said at a press conference this Wednesday, February 5.
The prosecutor accused the leaders of popular will to “enrich themselves unpunished” with funds from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). He also pointed out that apart from Guaidó and Vecchio, the United States “is pointing to other personnel” who have “stolen” funds from the USAID.
According to the prosecutor, these irregularities would have been committed under the figure of the “parapolitics”, with the intention of “enriching themselves unpunished.”
